How does one calculate the standard error of the sample mean?
Standard error of the sample mean is calculated dividing the the sample estimate of population standard deviation ("sample standard deviation") by the square root of sample size.
How do i find sample standard deviation from population standard deviation?
If the population standard deviation is sigma, then the estimate for the sample standard error for a sample of size n, is s = sigma*sqrt[n/(n-1)]
When we know the population mean but not the population standard deviation which statistic do we use to compare a sample to the population?
The sample standard error.
How much error between sample mean and population mean?
The answer depends on the underlying variance (standard deviation) in the population, the size of the sample and the procedure used to select the sample.
Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?
Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.

The sample standard error.
Is standard deviation same as standard error?
From what ive gathered standard error is how relative to the population some data is, such as how relative an answer is to men or to women. The lower the standard error the more meaningful to the population the data is. Standard deviation is how different sets of data vary between each other, sort of like the mean. * * * * * Not true! Standard deviation is a property of the whole population or distribution. Standard error applies to a sample taken from the population and is an estimate for the standard deviation.
Why is standard deviation of a statistic called standard error?
The standard error is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
How large a sample would be needed to have a standard error less than 2 points for population with a standard deviation of 20?
A sample of size 100.
How much error between sample mean and population mean?
The answer depends on the underlying variance (standard deviation) in the population, the size of the sample and the procedure used to select the sample.
A population that consists of 500 observations has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 15 A sample of size 100 is taken at random from this population The standard error of the sample mean equa?
The formula for calculating the standard error (or some call it the standard deviation) is almost the same as for the population; except the denominator in the equation is n-1, not N (n = number in your sample, N = number in population). See the formulas in the related link.
Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?
Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.
The mean and standard deviation of a population being sampled are 64 and 6 respectively. If the sample size is 50 what is the standard error of the mean?
0.75
A simple random sample of 64 observations was taken from a large population The sample mean and the standard deviation were determined to be 320 and 120 respectively The standard error of the mean you?
15
What does it mean when the standard error value is smaller than the standard deviation?
It simply means that you have a sample with a smaller variation than the population itself. In the case of random sample, it is possible.
